About this work

This painting shows a simple tabletop scene. A cooked fish lies on a white plate, its scales painted in quick red strokes. Beside it, a glass of liquid sits next to a bottle with a white label. Bright red apples and a green leafy plant add color to the warm, earthy background. The brushwork is loose and fast, almost like quick sketches. The colors feel warm, with yellows and oranges dominating the scene. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint.
